In the first half of 2012, NYSE Euronext (NYX) raised $17.1
billion in total global proceeds from Initial Public Offerings
(IPO) on 66 IPOs. In the U.S., NYSE Euronext listed 62% of all U.S.
IPOs bringing 56 new IPOs to the U.S. market, recently ending the
quarter with the successful listing of ServiceNow, Inc.
(NYSE: NOW). Additionally in the U.S., NYSE gained eight listing
transfers. In Europe, NYSE Euronext had 16 new listings, with
approximately €1.2 billion in proceeds.
"Despite global business, economic and political uncertainty in
the first half of 2012, we completed a significant number of IPO
capital market transactions," said Scott Cutler, EVP, Head of
Global Listings at NYSE Euronext. "We saw fewer debuts of large
IPOs than in the first half of 2011, but emerging growth companies
from technology, financial services and energy were the most active
sectors. If volatility remains low and economic contagion remains
controlled, we expect selective IPO open windows to persist through
the second half of 2012. Our biggest concerns remain trust,
transparency and accountability in our public markets."
"We achieved significant milestones in the first half of the
year supporting entrepreneurship, innovation and job growth,”
Cutler added. “We were pleased to work with the NVCA and the IPO
Taskforce on the JOBS Act, which was signed into U.S. law in April.
We have already seen emerging growth companies from around the
world file under the Act and expect many of these to come to market
this year. We also announced an exciting initiative, the NYSE Big
StartUp, designed to facilitate access to capital, partnerships,
training, mentoring and business development between entrepreneurs
and public corporations."
Leading in U.S. Technology Listings
In the first half of 2012, NYSE Euronext listed 53% of the
technology IPOs in the U.S., bringing 16 new IPOs to the U.S.
market, including the recent IPO of ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:
NOW). NYSE Euronext’s continued support of the success of these
emerging growth companies is reflected in the fact that leading
technology companies continue to list on the exchange.
Technology-based listings on NYSE in the first half of 2012
included Demandware Inc. (NYSE: DWRE), Exact Target
Inc. (NYSE: ET), Guidewire Software Inc. (NYSE: GWRE),
Infoblox Inc. (NYSE: BLOX), Millennial Media Inc.
(NYSE: MM) and Yelp Inc. (NYSE: YELP). For the second half
of 2012, the pipeline of technology deals looks strong and NYSE
Euronext looks forward to welcoming future technology leaders into
its community.
In addition to capturing high growth sectors, NYSE Euronext
continued to attract listings from leading U.S. consumer brand
names. Some of the U.S. consumer brand companies that listed on
NYSE Euronext in the first half of 2012 included Annie’s
Inc. (NYSE: BNNY), Burger King Corporation (NYSE: BKW),
Tilly’s Inc. (NYSE: TLYS) and Tumi Holdings Inc.
(NYSE: TUMI).
A Leader in U.S. Transfers
Companies continue to transfer to NYSE Euronext because they
value the global listings venue, branding, visibility and tailored
customer services the company offers. In the first half of 2012,
eight companies transferred to the NYSE with three departures from
the NYSE and one from NYSE MKT. Since 2000, NYSE has won 206
transfers representing a combined $509 billion in total market
capitalization. Of the eight companies that moved to the NYSE in
2012, two were among the top 100 market cap companies listed on
Nasdaq – Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TEVA)
and TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (NYSE: AMTD).
Additional companies that transferred to NYSE in the first half of
2012 included Halcon Resources Corporation (NYSE: HK),
Hercules Technology Growth Capital Inc. (NYSE: HTGC),
Kaman Corporation (NYSE: KAMN) – the 200th transfer to the
NYSE, and Team Inc. (NYSE: TISI).
Continued Global Success
NYSE Euronext’s global venues continued to attract leading
companies from around the world in the first half of 2012. In
Europe, Groupe Eurotunnel (ticker: GET) announced that it
will become the first company to be admitted to trading on NYSE
Euronext London, BTG Pactual (ticker: BTGP), Brazil’s
largest investment bank, listed on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam and
Solvay (ticker: SOLB), a leading global player in chemicals
completed a secondary listing on NYSE Euronext in Paris. In the
U.S., global industry leaders such as AVG Technologies NV
(NYSE: AVG) from Czech Republic, Cementos Pacasmayo (NYSE:
CPAC) from Peru and Cencosud S.A. (NYSE: CNCO) from Chile,
all listed on NYSE.
“Issuers around the world increasingly list on NYSE Euronext
because they value the quality of execution and access to the
largest pool of capital,” said Cutler. “Issuers, investors and the
trading community have relied on our unique high-touch, high-tech
model for years. We appreciate the choice existing and new issuers
are making to list on our marketplace and we continue to look for
opportunities to unlock the potential of our community, the largest
b2b network in the world, for our partners.”
Welcomed Top European Listings and saw increase in financing
by SMEs
During the first six months of 2012, NYSE Euronext led the
European capital markets in terms of offering value, with 16
listings from a variety of sectors including cable, biotech and
technology raising a total of €1.2 billion for companies with an
aggregate market capitalization of €21.3 billion.
The Dutch cable operator, Ziggo (ticker:ZIGGO), launched
the largest IPO in Europe in 2012, which listed on NYSE Euronext
Amsterdam raising €925 million. Other high profile listings
included the international listings by CoreLabs (ticker:
CLB) on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam and the large spin-off from D.E.
MASTER BLENDERS 1753 (ticker: DE, ex- Sara Lee Corp) on NYSE
Euronext Amsterdam.
In addition, four of the five IPOs on NYSE Euronext in Paris in
the first quarter were from healthcare-related companies. NYSE
Euronext Paris has become the market of choice for Biotech and
Medtech companies in Europe with 16 IPOs and €400 million raised
over the past 3 years.
NYSE Euronext’s European market continued to welcome SME
listings in the first half of 2012, which represented 10 out of the
16 new listings this year, raising a total €234 million in new
capital. These capital raisings highlight the important role that
NYSE Euronext markets play in providing growth capital to SMEs as
financing from more traditional sources is becoming more
constrained.
“In the first six months of 2012, we saw some optimism return
for IPOs with the listing of Ziggo and the amount of capital
raised,” said Diederik Zandstra, Head of International Listings at
NYSE Euronext. “While we expect market volatility to continue in
2012, we do expect periods when market conditions will be favorable
for IPOs and hope companies will see the benefits of our state of
the art pan-European trading platform, market infrastructure,
visibility, investor relations support, index and derivatives
product offering.”
